1:00 AM – We don’t see many of these Bluebirds anymore, and that’s too bad.
We has some Brown Headed Cowbirds come through, not the big flock we’ve had in the past, but enough to cause this little jam up on the feeder:
Even more Cowbirds:

12:23 AM – It’s Sunday. That means videos from the past.
From February 2017, a flock of Brown Headed Cowbirds visited for a few days. Here they are, busy at the platform feeder, with background music (original composition called “Skip Rope”).
The Yellow Warblers are Winter visitors. These video were from January, 2017. They’re pretty birds, frequently confused (by me) with the Goldfinch. The bird in the second video is in fact a Pine Warbler.

Back to normal – just a Red-bellied Woodpecker and a bluebird grazing the mealworm feeder. Notice the woodpecker flying off with a big mouthful of worms.
